People are vastly overestimating the german military in points of equipment (quality and quantity), personell (training and experience) and organisation/logistics (it's as corrupt and bureaucratic as a german public office can be).

I could spend hours telling stories about its desolate state...

Trust me when I'm saying, that the german military will never be a real military super power or even a strong contributor to any military alliance.

Thats true, but nonetheless increased militarizarion of Germany is worrying. If there are more weapons, they will be used sooner or later. Maybe against another country, or against some "internal threat". This is in addition to all the weapons from Ukraine that will reach black markets and terrorist groups.
